Whose fans didn't back then, it was a nightmare, thankfully that's all but gone.

No idea. I'm going on reports from the older generation! But Warrington fans stood out as having the worst reputation. These days, aside from the incident at KR with Wigan last season, I'd say Leeds fans are the worst.

Wigan fans were escorted down knowsley road because ONE idiot punched a steward and broke his jaw, that was the only "incident" that happened. If people were "starting fights" then why was there no arrests apart from the one plank that assualted the steward??

As iv said, Wire fans in general are good for banter and iv met loads that iv had a proper RL discussion with, the people I was targeting in my post, was the idiots that stand in the middle of the westterrace that more than likely was at the heart of this incident with the Saints fans the other night.

Only! Breaking a man's jaw is worse than anything which has gone on there since I've been going, by a long distance! On top of that, a group of your fans decided to try and wreck the joint in the away end. While it wasn't the nicest of places, it wasn't Wigan fans' place to wreck.

And then, on top of all that, you are Wiganers, which is reason enough in my view to kettle you all the way to Wigan.

I didnt say "only" as in "only punched a steward" did I?? I said ONE IDIOT. You can hardly brand us a "disgrace" because ONE idiot punched a steward. Nobody wrecked the joint at all, IIRC one peice of rusty aluminium fell off the back of the stand. Biggest exageration ever.

I heard the banging hon. I was there. I saw what your fans were doing. If they were caught they were going to be charged, just like the fan who broke the steward's jaw. Put those incidents together and (a) you have more trouble than we had at KR in years, and (b) you as a collective were going to be viewed by the police as potential trouble makers.

Like I said at the outset, you can't try to claim the moral high ground when it comes to fan behaviour, which is what you were trying to do with the Wire fan, simply because your own fans behave badly as well.

So you was stood right at the back of the away end in the middle of the away support was you? I was there, and im telling you it fell at half time, it was hanging off before the game. The bloke who broke the stewards jaw was charged, and banned. Can you please give more examples of bad behaviour by Wigan fans?? Id love to hear it, because iv travelled the country watching Wigan and have only ever viewed trouble at Warrington once and the one idiot hitting a steward. Enlighten me.

If you've travelled all over and only seen trouble at Warrington once and the KR incident with the Steward, then why are you condemning Warrington fans? Lets face it, calling Wire fans scum is a popular sport with SOME Wigan fans (they also tar Leeds and Saints with the same brush), but breaking a stewards jaw is infinitely more serious than problems with a few chavs. The steward is there in effect to Police the crowd and breaking someone's jaw amounts to GBH. I would think that if he's been convicted he'll not need a ban, because he'll get 5 years inside.

Just as bad as grown men headbutting women or setting lads lay on the floor on fire?

Yes, I agree. What I don't agree with is that a number of Wigan fans brand all Wire fans scum (the last one was on Friday night), when we aren't. Everyone has a few idiots, but when I tried to argue the point I was ridiculed on your board. Some of us are quite nice you know.

I know a few decent Wire fans, with whom I can have a decent RL discussion, but as you say there are some from the lower edge of society (as have most clubs)

it's not your stand it's a shared stand it's only a full away end if all tickets are sold by the away team.Saints usually fill it moving the west stand season ticket holders having to move into the south stand.This year was the worst away attendance I've seen by Saints for a very long time.Therefore the west stand season ticket holders could stay there but not only that Warrington sold west stand tickets for general sale and a week before the match had 1500 on general sale.
